She was anxious and tired. After entering the room, she collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Her face was pale and bloodless.
Zhang Zian quickly closed the window again, then brought her a towel, a pair of winter pajamas, and a pair of slippers. He left the storage room and asked her to dry her hair and body, then change into pajamas. Otherwise, she might catch a cold, and he did not have any other suitable clothes for her to wear.
After a while, she opened the door and came out. She changed into pajamas and slippers, and seemed to have put the wet clothes into her bag. Then she handed the wet towel to him. "Thank you. Where is my daughter?"
"Your daughter is on the first floor. Pay attention to your steps. Don't miss anything."
Zhang Zian understood her eagerness to see her daughter and pointed to the stairs.
She thanked him again and hurried to the first floor. Zhang Zian followed behind her slowly.
"Little Celery!"
"Mom!"
Little Celery had been anxious for a long time. Suddenly hearing her mother's voice coming from behind, she was shocked. She turned around and saw that it was her mother. She immediately ran over and threw herself into her mother's arms.
Little Celery had been worried about her mother's safety. Now that she finally saw her mother, her mood suddenly relaxed and became very happy. She was so happy that she even shed tears.
Her mother was also very excited. She sobbed and hugged her little body. Only a mother could understand her mother's mood at this time.
Lu Yi Yun looked at the touching scene of the mother and daughter meeting and could not help but think of her own mother. Although she had fallen out with her family because she dropped out of college, blood was thicker than water. She often thought of her family late at night and silently shed tears … But she had already made up her mind. Since her family looked down on her and opposed her to painting as a career, she must make a name for herself before going back. Otherwise, she would not be able to repair the relationship and would definitely fall out again.
The second floor was very dark, while the first floor was brighter. Zhang Zian and the shop assistants looked at Little Celery's mother with the light.
She was definitely over thirty years old, but it was hard to tell exactly how old she was. It could only be said that she looked a little haggard. After all, it was very hard to be a single mother. She had to take care of work, life, and children at the same time. Fortunately, Little Celery was a good child. If it was a naughty kid like Xu Zhuang Zhuang … She would probably be full of negative energy every day.
Her face shape was somewhat similar to Little Celery's. She was of average height and average build. She was dressed in a professional suit, and her makeup had been washed away by the rain. Her arms, legs, feet, and hands had several abrasions and scratches. It was not hard to imagine how dangerous the journey had been.
She hugged Little Celery for a while, then pushed her away and looked at her daughter from head to toe.
"Little Celery, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Mom, you're hurt..." Little Celery held her hand.
Lu Yi Yun found a first-aid kit and took out some iodophor for her to disinfect.
She wasn't in a hurry to disinfect it. She first looked at the pet shop and the few of them with a trace of vigilance.
"My name is Zhang Zian. I'm the manager of this pet shop."
Zhang Zian and the shop assistants introduced themselves one after another. This way, they wouldn't be considered complete strangers, and they could more or less dispel her wariness.
"My name is Cai Meiwen." She also introduced herself.
Zhang Zian and the shop assistants were shocked. Cai Meiwen and Little Celery had the same surname, which probably meant that she had changed Little Celery's surname. The surname "Cai" was not common, and the possibility that Little Celery's father's surname was also very low... Of course, it could also be that she had two children, one with their father's surname, and the other with their mother's surname. Wasn't this popular nowadays? Anyway, there was no need to ask too much about other people's family affairs. Every family had its own problems, and he wasn't at the age where he was bored enough to ask about other people's gossip.
Judging from their faces, Cai Meiwen didn't think they were bad people. There were two young girls here, and the other two shop assistants were also very lively and cheerful.
She saw a lot of cats and dogs in the shop, some were young, some were adults, and some were young. There were three big adult dogs, which looked very scary. They were not leashed, so she unconsciously pushed Little Celery behind her.
"Manager, don't you leash these dogs?" She pointed at Famous, Fastika, and Zhan Tian.
"Mom! They are very obedient, and they never bite! "Little Celery explained.
"Never bite?" Cai Meiwen looked doubtful. "They all say that dogs never bite. What if they do bite?"
Her worries were not unreasonable. Many dog owners vowed that their dogs did not bite, except for a few breeds of dogs such as golden retrievers, labradors, huskies, etc., it was really hard to say for other breeds of dogs. Maybe they did not bite, but if they were provoked or frightened, it was hard to say.
It was useless to say more. Zhang Zian winked at Famous and the others. They understood and left the first floor with Warsky to the second floor.
Cai Meiwen was stunned. The three big dogs' degree of taming was beyond her imagination. They didn't even need to say a password. They went upstairs on their own as if they were very intelligent.
She believed most of Little Celery's claim that they did not bite. She felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't change her mind and ask them to come down, so she could only pretend that she didn't know anything.
"This is a pet shop, right? There are no snakes, spiders, or other animals, right? "She looked at the display cabinets in the dark with vigilance.
"No, there aren't any poisonous animals," Zhang Zian replied.
She breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
Little Celery was also very embarrassed. She twisted her body uneasily, feeling sorry for Zhang Zian.
He secretly made a face to Little Celery, indicating that she did not need to care.
From being influenced by what he saw when he was a child to running the pet shop by himself for a year, what kind of people had he not seen? There were countless people in the world. Some people liked pets, and some people hated pets. Some people loved cats, and some people abused cats. Some people loved dogs, and some people ate dogs. There was nothing new under the sun.
Cai Meiwen did not seem to like dogs very much, especially big dogs. It was normal and understandable. Even if it was RMB, not everyone liked it. Father Ma even regretted founding Alibaba.
Lu Yi Yun handed a bottle of mineral water to Cai Meiwen. "Drink some water. Now the power is out, so there is no way to boil water. Your wound needs to be treated."
"Thank you."
Cai Meiwen unscrewed the cap, drank a few mouthfuls of water, and washed the wound with the rest of the water. Then she used a cotton swab to apply iodophor to disinfect the wound. Little Celery helped.
Zhang Zian winked at the staff again, meaning that they should not stand there and watch. They should do what they were supposed to do and try to be as natural as possible. How much pressure did they put on her by staring at her like that?
He and the staff continued to run back and forth between the pet shop and the aquarium. As usual, they made jokes and acted silly to liven up the atmosphere.
The water level on the street continued to rise, and the sewage seeped into the water faster than before.
